So the previous post was basically just a vomiting of thoughts in my mind, nice image huh. I noticed it has been about ten days since my last post. Apparently my link gets bumped at nine inactive days. I'm cool with that.
Right now I am sitting in my living room, all the lights in the house are off. No movement, no distractions. Just the glow of the laptop and the melody of Death Cab ringing in the dark. One of my roommates has been out of town this week, and the other one mostly uses the home as a storage unit. So that's given me a lot of time flying solo this week. It's pretty damn nice, but I do miss my peeps (that's people/homies/friends for the over thirty crowd joining us today).
These next few months are going to be crazy. I am going to be in Houston, Jackson, Dallas, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Vegas, and hopefully Baltimore all before the end of May. When I am not out of town I am going to be jammed pack with the goings on here in town. I am not complaining, 80% of those trips are going to be fun, and I do intend on maximizing the fun in each city, but I am going to have to take some time off to just be...Just Be, the essential to a mentally healthy life.
I need to squeeze some camping in there too at some point. A weekend trip to RKansas, as I call it, for some hiking and tom-foolery. You want peace? Here's how you get it. Pack a bag, hike a mountain/hill sit on top and eat lunch. No talking, little thinking, just be in the moment. That's awesome.
Colin and I hiked the shining rock trail in NC a few years ago. We sat on top of the largest quartz or granite or some kind of rock and looked out at everything and said nothing, but nothing needed to be said. One of the most peaceful moments in life. Which brings me to the best meal ever...Write this down: Get two pieces of bread, put light mayo on one slice of bread, processed cheese on the other along with a generous helping of thinly sliced turkey. Here's the hard part, put them together, and put the whole thing in zip lock bag. Now, take the sandwich and put it in your back pack. Don't worry about placing it at the top or out of harms way, it tastes better smashed a little bit. Hike 8 miles uphill. Rest on a big rock or dead tree limb. Eat sandwich, garnish with Nature's Valley Granola Bars, a pear, and luke warm water. Finish it up with half a snickers. Best meal ever. Always my first day meal on a hike. Now I'm hungry for that exact meal now. That's it, I am going hiking very soon, maybe by myself. Uncle Mike I need to borrow some gear...Stove and water filter...if you don't mind. Well, I am going to plan my trip...I know you love the randomness of my mind. Out.
